Review: Punch-Out!!
May 18
// Nick Chester
Punch-Out!! (Wii)Developer: Next Level GamesPublisher: NintendoReleased: May 18, 2009MSRP: $49.99Fans of the original game can breathe a sigh of relief, as nearly everything you cherished about the original remains intact in Punch-Out!! for the Wii. Developer Next Level Games knew it had a good thing going with the basics, and decided not to play with the formula too much, while making a number of key strides and taking a few unexpected chances that ultimately pay off in spades. The game follows the boxing career of our old pal Little Mac, who, alongside his trainer Doc Louis, has to best 13 contenders in order to win the WVBA World Championship. If you've played the previous games, you'll recognize just about everyone on the roster, from Bald Bull to Mr. Sandman and Bear Hugger to Aran Ryan. Of the main roster, one character -- Disco Kid, who is introduced very early on in the career -- is new. That's right, 15 years have passed and the series has only introduced one new character, a flashy disco dancer that fits in nicely with the existing roster. Still, it's a bit disappointing to see so few new faces, particularly when Super Punch-Out!! introduced so many new faces some 15 years ago. Luckily, in spite of so many familiar characters, Next Level Games keeps it feeling fresh. Early matches, like the introductory battle against Glass Joe, will probably be simple for any veteran. In fact, most of the Minor Circuit is a breeze the first time through; King Hippo's pattern is nearly identical to that found in the original game, and I breezed through it without much issue. But that quickly changed, as the timing and patterns of opponents get more tricky and rather difficult as you near the career's initial goal of obtaining the championship. It's at that point that things truly get interesting, as Little Mac must defend his championship against the game's full roster of characters, all of which have undergone some major tweaks. In the Title Defense mode, you're not simply fighting the same characters with the same attack/defense patterns again. Each of them has switched up their offensive and defensive game, and sometimes their look, addressing their individual weaknesses in some seriously creative and remarkable ways. Glass Joe, for instance, is now wearing head gear, and he learns a strange jab timing that will throw off even the most seasoned player. King Hippo has hilariously guarded his soft tummy spot with a manhole cover he's duct taped to himself; you'll have to figure out a way to remove the cover before toppling the plump pugilist. When it comes down to it, Punch-Out!!'s gameplay is all about timing and figuring out boxers' patterns; it's a game of reflexes and light puzzle solving. Next Level Games has completely nailed this on all accounts, with some of the most imaginative and interesting boxer patterns found in the series to date. It can also get seriously tough, sometimes frustratingly so. But errors are always on the player, with little to no opportunities to call it "unfair" and never as a result of controls not reacting in a way you'd expect. Playing through Punch-Out!!, the Wii Remote was thrown more than few times, which brought back plenty of memories of playing the first two games. And while I cursed the game (and Doc Louis, along with his patronizing attempts at inspiration), I knew my failure was always my burden as a gamer. Success was always rewarding, and always a result of understanding patterns and reacting quickly and appropriately.Where controls are concerned, Punch-Out!! offers a variety of control schemes: holding a single Wii Remote sideways; using a Wii Remote along with a Nunchuk; or combining either of the aforementioned control methods with the Wii Balance Board for Little Mac's evasive movements. Longtime Punch-Out!! fans will feel right at home using the Wii Remote on its own. The controller's 1 and 2 buttons are mapped to punches, and using the D-pad, you can make Little Mac duck, or dodge both left and right. Little Mac's "Star Punch" is activated by pressing the A button; stars are gained by hitting your opponent at the right time, and up to three can be banked and used at once for a more powerful uppercut attack. Attaching the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote adds some motion control functionality, which (fortunately) is extremely basic in its use. Instead of using the 1 and 2 buttons to punch, you merely shake either your right or left hand to make Little Mac swing that respective punch; holding Z in conjunction with your shakes will result in body blows. The Nunchuk's analog stick acts as a replacement for the D-pad, allowing you to dodge and duck.The most surprising control scheme is the option use of the Wii Balance Board, which can be used to control Little Mac's movements in conjunction with either of the other two control schemes. With both feet on the board, you shift your weight left or right on the board to control your dodging motions in the respective direction. Putting pressure on the board with both feet in a ducking motion will result in -- you guessed it -- Little Mac ducking down. Personally, I was most comfortable with the single Wii Remote control style; I picked it up at once, as if a day hadn't passed since I last held an SNES controller to play Super Punch-Out!!. The Wii Remote/Nunchuk combo works pretty well, too; the shaking of the Wii Remotes feels natural, and isn't a tiring work-out experience like the boxing found in Wii Sports. Regardless of which scheme you use, the controls are precise, and react quickly and predictably. Ultimately, this is a choice that will boil down to personal preference (although I suspect fans of the classic games will default to the standard Wii Remote scheme). Unfortunately, the same praise can't be heaped upon the usage of the Wii Balance Board. It's a great idea on paper and in theory -- one-to-one movement of your body to make Little Mac dodge from side-to-side seems like an obvious addition. The problem is that it's simply not accurate enough for this style of gameplay, one that requires quick thinking on your feet (literally, in the case of the Balance Board) and fast reaction times. More than a few situations arose where moving my body weight slightly either left or right wouldn't make Mac dodge fast enough. Overcompensating and exaggerating the movements didn't do the trick, either; moving right on the board would sometimes make Mac dodge left, and vice versa. While some of these issues could be chalked up to a board calibration issue (something I did more than a few times to get it right), the bottom line is that Punch-Out!!'s gameplay requires quick fast and accurate movements, something the Balance Board overly complicates, making it more of a novelty than a viable control option.Another initial concern was whether or not the game could justify its full price tag; past games were light on features, simply leading Little Mac to the championship against a small roster of fighters. Fortunately, Punch-Out!! has more to offer than first meets the eye. The Title Defense mode is a great little surprise, and the variation in how some of the characters look and act is a welcome addition. Completion of the main game (including Title Defense) also rewards players with a "Mac's Last Stand" mode, which offers a new layer to the game, easily doubling your total gameplay time. Moreover, the game features the curious inclusion of a multiplayer head-to-head mode. In this mode, two players battle in a split-screen game that surprisingly feels a lot like the single-player game. Each player controls their own "Little" boxer (your name is based on the Mii you choose), with an arsenal of attacks unique to multiplayer. Setting the mode further apart from the single-player game is the inclusion of Giga Mac. Players earn "Giga Mac Juice" by successfully dodging their opponent's punches, or landing punches on their opponent at the right time. The transforming into Giga Mac is clearly inspired by Marvel's Hulk, with your boxer being set off into a rage before doubling in size. You'll have a handful of powerful moves at your disposal, too, including charged jabs, strong uppercuts, and more. Multiplayer is surprisingly fun, and a nice addition to the series, but it doesn't present a lot of gameplay. It would have been nice if the game offered multiple characters to choose from in this mode, each with a different look and style, but you're locked into choosing Little Mac or ... Little Mac. The mode doesn't support Wi-Fi, so you're playing split-screen with someone on the couch or you're not playing at all. It's a nice diversion and an interesting addition to the standard Punch-Out!! modes, but this clearly isn't the title's focus and it shows. There is a great opportunity to build on this, however; if it doesn't take Nintendo another 15 years to green-light the next Punch-Out!!, I look forward to seeing the multiplayer fleshed out.Visually, the game's hand-drawn cartoon style fits in perfectly with the series' wacky feel. The look and animations bring each and every over-the-top character to life. Little details, like pineapple chunks flying off of King Hippo as you pound his belly, or the bruising on the faces and bodies of the boxers, give the game a sense of character that falls in line with what you'd expect from the series. Coupled with the voices, the new style fits in tightly with the gameplay, with visual and audio cues that you'll need to pick up on in order to succeed.While I'm still a bit bitter that it's taken 15 years for Nintendo to deliver a new Punch-Out!!, it was unquestionably worth the wait. As a Punch-Out!! fan, I couldn't ask for more -- classic gameplay that feels familiar, with a handful of fresh and unexpected challenges that are as entertaining as they are challenging. For players new to the series, word of advice: to beat King Hippo, you're going to have to... nah, I'll let you figure that one out for yourself. That's half the fun. Just don't spend too much time face-down on the mat, Mac.Score: 9 -- Superb (9s are a hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage to what is a supreme title.)
It's criminal that Nintendo let 15 years pass between the Super Nintendo release of Super Punch-Out!! and Punch-Out!! on the Wii. Between then and now, there have been plenty of opportunities to drag Little Mac out of r...

GDC 09: Hands-on with Punch-Out!! Wii
Mar 26
// Anthony Burch
Those who have been closely following Punch-Out!! Wii's development will probably remember that, while the game supports both motion-controlled and regular play via turning the Wiimote on its side, the waggle setting is the default. You'll probably want to switch to regular button-based controls after about a half-hour of play, though.It's not that the controls are awful, necessarily -- you won't be mindlessly throwing your arms in every direction in some random attempt to land punches like one might in Wii Boxing -- it's just that they're, well, typical of every other Wiimote motion scheme ever. Punches are controlled by thrusting the nunchuck or Wiimote forward. This works fine if you make very sharp motions and slow your punching speed so that only one controller is moving at a time, but considering how quick and reflex-based the series has tended to be I couldn't help but try to do the motion-control equivalent of button-mashing by quickly shooting my arms out to do quick combos, which ended up just confusing the motion sensors. Everything else is controlled through buttons -- holding up on the nunchuckanalog stick allows you to throw face punches, while pressing the stick left, right, or down dodges in that direction -- I screwed up punch combos frequently enough that if it'd been up to me, I would have just turned the Wiimote on its side and played that way.Then again, perhaps the game's difficulty curve will make it such that it won't really matter which control scheme you use. I only fought two of the four available demo characters, Glass Joe and Von Kaiser, and watched someone else defeat a third, new character named Disco Kid, but what I experienced seemed surprisingly easy for a Punch-Out!! game. It's entirely possible that a great deal of this is due to the fact that all four characters (I didn't get to fight King Hippo, to my undeniable disappointment) come from the game's minor circuit, but what are we to make of the way that all enemies flash red for a split-second when initiating any attack to let the player know when to dodge? The console Punch-Out!! games have gotten progressively easier through the ages (I can't beat more than six fighters in the NES version, but I can complete Super Punch-Out!! one out of every three times I attempt to), but I was really surprised to see the Wii version outright telling me when to dodge. I only got hit bt perhaps three or four punches during the entirety of my two fights. Trying to figure out where and when the enemy's attacks came from, and how to time your responses, resulted in great reflex- and memory-based fun in the previous games. Again, I can't claim to truly know how difficult the game will be given that I only saw three of the game's 13 fighters, but I really didn't expect the red flash mechanic. Beyond the motion control and colorful punch warnings, Punch-Out!! Wii has a few smaller changes. There are now actual rounds which last two minutes or less, so it's no longer easy to just win a fight via TKO by knocking your opponent out three times; the rounds are so short that even against really easy fighters like Glass Joe, the first round ended (and thus reset the knockout counter) before I had the chance to land that final third knockout blow. Between rounds, Mac's trainer will give advice as to what Mac is doing wrong a la Fight Night Round 3's corner man. If you're not doing anything wrong, the trainer will spout out dadaistic pearls of wisdom like, "You know what my favorite kind of flower is? Chocolate!"Cosmetically, the game is pretty cool. Each fight is prefaced by a series of well-illustrated stills relaying the fighter's backstory, and the characters themselves are really emotive during the actual matches. They'll also show scripted signs of wear and tear as the fights progress; by round two, Von Kaiser was sporting a satisfyingly large bump on his face and a few bruises around his stomach. All in all, I'm torn -- the motion controls are "eh" and thus far the game seems really easy, but there are significantly more fighters than I've seen who notably don't come from the minor circuit, and the controls seem very well-suited atraditional button-tastic control scheme that Nintendo thoughtfully provided. Emotionally, I'm pretty much back where I was when Punch-Out!! Wii was first announced -- hopeful and happy in the short term, but intensely skeptical of the game as a whole.
I love Punch-Out!!. You love Punch-Out!!. Everybody loves Punch-Out!!. There's no real surprise there. And since everyone loves Punch-Out!! just as I do, I'm going to go ahead and presumptuously assume that whatever emotions ...

I've had mine for over 11 months. It's great. I live alone and have not needed my full size stove since I received this thing. It and the microwave do just fine. This is my 2nd unit, 1st came in damaged (factory), called, they sent return shipping label and I got a replacement promptly. also want to rate OverStock.com @ 5 stars, their shipping charge alone makes me check their site and I'm certainly very well pleased with the Customer Service Department. That in it's self is no small thing when dealing a non-local company. have & will continue to recommend both. If fact, I've talked so much about this thing that I have friends who are waiting for it to be back in stock.Read More
Being a chef, I am very familier with induction stoves. I work a lot with chocolate and sugar and I have excelent results with this stove. No hot spots, it heats up fast ,and you can put it where you want it.. Easy to read, easy to use. This stove is as good as they get. I did find the manuel to be a little confusing.ARead More
I ordered the BergHOFF induction unit because I am planning to remodel my kitchen and wanted to see how induction cooking compares to conventional modes. I've used conventional gas and electric for many years, but they pale by comparison to induction cooking. It's faster, it doesn't heat up the kitchen, it doesn't have explosive potential, and it doesn't smell! This is a fantastic stovetop and an exceptional bargain for an induction unit. COOKWARE: I've had the unit for a month now and have tested it with several types of stainless steel cookware. Obviously they must pass the magnet test, but I¿ve found that "waterless" cookware and pans with try-ply bases (stainless-clad encapsulated aluminum) work well and clean up easily. PAN SIZE: The stovetop's manual states that pans from 5-10" are compatible, but warns that the pan base should not measure less than 4¾" in diameter. The base of my 1 qt saucepan is exactly 4¾" and I've had no problem heating in it, however, some of the functions don't work (see Notes below). The base of my 12" sauté pan is slightly larger (10¾") than the recommended 10" diameter, but it heats and functions perfectly. FEATURES: The 1600-watt stove measures 12.5" wide, 13.5" deep, 2.5" high and uses normal household power (120V/60Hz). It has a ceramic top with four touch controls (function, on/off, reduce, increase) at the front of the plate. The "Function" controller is set by default to Function 1; press once to access F2; press twice to access F3. The functions are: F1: HEAT SETTING BY NUMBER in nine levels. By default, heating starts at level 5; levels range from 9 (390?F) down to 1 (140?F). This figures out to a decrease of a little more than 30 degrees F for each level. Thus, beginning at the highest level (with rounding accounting for a slight incremental discrepancy), the corresponding temperatures MIGHT be something like: 9=390?; 8=360?; 7=330?; 6=300?; 5=265?; 4=235?; 3=200?; 2=170?; 1=140?. This is just a GUESS on my part--the manual says nothing on the subject. Anyway, I find that the actual number isn't as important as the visual result. That's because the heat control works so instantaneously (similar to a gas stove), that as soon as you decrease/increase the level, the bubbling decreases/increases. In the final analysis, you just press decrease or increase until you see the food cooking exactly the way you want it. F2: HEAT SETTING BY DEGREES in eight increments. By default, heating starts at the highest temperature, 390?F, then decreases to 350?> 320? > 280? > 250? > 210? > 180? > 140?F. F3: AUTOMATIC TIMER. By default, timing starts at the longest time, 150 minutes (2½ hours). You press the decrease or increase control to select the preferred time. Be sure to also decrease heat level so that food just simmers. Stove shuts off automatically when set time elapses. This is a FABULOUS feature!! NOTES: *If you need to use an extension cord, make sure it has a load rating higher than 1600 watts. I use a heavy duty power strip rated for an 1875 watt load and it works perfectly. *Pan bottoms need to be scrupulously clean. If you buy an open stock pan with a price sticker on the bottom of the pan, you must get EVERY particle of adhesive off the pan. If the stove senses any foreign material on the pan it will automatically shut off. Guess how I figured that one out! *The stovetop itself needs to be completely clean. I inadvertently dropped a few grains of salt on the plate (which I couldn't even see), and when I began my next cooking adventure, the stove sensed the intruder and shut itself off. As soon as I discovered the salt and removed it, the stove worked perfectly. *I suspect that Function 1's default setting (level 5) is related to pan size and safety. My smaller pans (1- and 2-qt.) heat perfectly on levels 5 down to 1 but, when set to higher levels, the stove automatically shuts off. Level 5 is very adequate for small pans. If the default were set at level 9, small pans would cause an immediate shut off before you had time to press the reduce control. *Function 3 (the timer) is not available for small-size pans. The reason is that you have to cycle through F2 (degree settings) before you can access F3 (timer). As soon as F2 opens, the temperature defaults upward to 390?F and the stove automatically shuts off. PLEASE NOTE: This occurs ONLY with SMALL pans. My larger pans (8¼" base and 10¾" base skillets) are able to use all three functions at all time and temperature settings. *Personally, now that I understand why, I don't mind that large and small pans are treated differently. Food in large pans usually requires longer cooking (which is perfect for the timer function), whereas food in small pans usually cooks quickly and requires constant tending. You shouldn't walk away from it. It makes good safety sense. *The 3-page manual doesn't cover every contingency, so there's a wee bit of a learning curve. But once you've mastered the manual's basics and the few pointers listed above, you'll be a believer!Read More
This was purchased for use in our daughter's dorm room. It requires pots and pans that are magnetic, but the safety features of the induction burner are worth the extra cost over an electric hot plate. She and her dormmates use it regularly for quick meals.Read More
Just got it today and chomping at the bit to test it out . . . Not being familiar w/ induction, I have to say that this is the most AMAZING thing I've ever used! Bought for a small in-law apt - thinking I've save some $ and space . . . after doing a lot of research, was going to go w/ a halogen type burner THEN learned about induction. Figured that it sounded like a 'safer' solution, since the only heat involved is the contact point between my (magnetic) pan and the cooktop surface, for starters. Figured that a 'portable' cooktop would be some rinky dinky 'hot plate' type gadget that would take 50 years to cook anything on . . . boy was I wrong! This thing is absolutely PERFECT in every way - don't think I'd ever want to go back to a 'radiant' type or electric cooktop/ stove ever again! The actual cooktop surface is approx 10.5" x 12" and MORE THAN BIG ENOUGH for a big/ oversize sauce or stew pot - and then there's the INSTANT ABILITY TO COOK! Testing it out, I boiled a large pot of COLD water IN NO TIME! The cook surface stayed cool to touch (obviously except where it made contact w/ the pot). Only slight downfall is that your cookware needs to be able to hold a magnet (i.e. stainless steel or cast iron - even enamled works) which is no biggie really - just throw that refrigerator magnet in your pocket when you go shopping for pans/ pots I AM HOOKED! BEST PRODUCT I'VE EVER BOUGHT! Thanks Overstock for the GREAT/ BEST DEAL on the web!Read More
I do not own this particular product. However, I live in England and have used an induction hob (cooktop) for 3 years, so I'm very qualified to comment on induction in general. Induction cooking is, without a doubt ,superior to any other form of rangetop cooking commonly available today. Compared to gas (the next best), induction is much better at holding a simmer, regardless of the thickness of the liquid. With gas, if you're trying to simmer something thick, it is often difficult to maintain a flame low enough to prevent scorching. Induction temperature settings, on the other hand, are almost infinitely variable, from extremely low to extremely high. The other huge advantages to induction are: 1) Because induction heats the contents rather than the pan, when you reduce the temperature from a boil to a simmer (for instance), the reduction of temperature is immediate; 2) When you turn off a burner and remove the pan, it instantly cools. The only heat remaining is the residual heat from the pan itself, making it safer. As an added bonus of this feature, you are far less likely to burn spilled food onto the cooktop, unlike with other glass cooktops. I encourage you all to try one of these. It will change how you lapproach cooking completely. Yes, you do need to use stainless, but you don't need to spend that much if you just take a small magnet with you when you're shopping for cookware. If the magnet sticks, the cookware will work on induction!Read More

text: These boots are great they're really comfortable and keep my feet dry through all the water and mud I've encountered ripping through the woods Only thing is I tried on some other brands size 12 was way to small and 13 fit good as long as they were nice and tight. My actual boot size is a 12.5 and unfortunately there is no such thing for a riding boot. My only problem with this boot is they can't get as tight as I want them. There is a little too much room at the top of them even with my pants tucked in them. They'd be better if they were more adjustable for tightening

PHOENIX — The Astros expected 21st round draft pick Mac Marshall to be a tough sign, and he hammered home that point on Twitter on Tuesday.
A prep lefty from Georgia who's already throwing in the low 90s, Marshall wrote that he would be honoring his commitment to play baseball at LSU: "I will be playing at LSU this year, but I'd like to thank the @astros for drafting me in this years MLB First-Year Player Draft!"
Posturing isn't unfamiliar in the draft, although Miller could certainly be intent on going to college. Either way, the Astros aren't going to cut off communication, and scouting director Mike Elias pointed out the Astros wouldn't draft someone they believed they had no shot at inking.
"We are big admirers of Mac Marshall, which is why we drafted him," Elias said. "We'll keep the line of communications open all summer, but regardless of his next step, whether it's pro ball or college, we'll wish him the best and continue following him."
Earlier Tuesday, before Marshall made his announcement, Elias noted how strong a commitment Marshall had to LSU.
"We're going to do our best to make our recruiting pitch and sign the kid, but I do expect that one might be a bit of an uphill battle with the situation he has ahead of him," Elias said.
The other pick that could prove a tough haul for the Astros is their fifth rounder, Jacob Nix. He's a prep righthander from California who's touched 96 and is committed to UCLA.
"He made it clear prior to the draft that he was going to have an expensive price tag with him to forego that commitment," Elias said. "I don't foresee that being an easy or inexpensive signing but, you know we had an understanding of his sign-ability and our resources when we made the selection. Being that we took him in the fifth round, we wouldn't have done that had we at least been optimistic about signing him, and I'm hopeful that we're going to be able to get him under contract."
"We haven't had a whole lot of engagement there yet … I definitely think we're moving along in a positive direction but there hasn't been a whole lot done yet on that front."

I was thinkin' this was going to be the song from NERD "Seeing Sounds". Still a cool song.
Pharrell having a great year... he evolving even further.
Into what???
Pharrell is a genius.
what a sell out. i remember when he was full blown gully and just half murkin rappers. he went to one of the realest rappers to this bullness. sell out. ya bish
He did hooks for The Clipse too. But he's never claimed to be gangsta - interpreting hooks doesn't mean he's talking about himself! He started out looking like trailer park trash...then he introduced Japanese urban wear to American Pop Culture. Then he became rich as fuck and started dressing like a faggot. Never been gangsta.
On what song? What "Teflon Don" would be in a group called N*E*R*D? Again, he was never on that. Even when he was doing the hook on "Superthug" and "Oh, No" by NORE.
Telfon Dons can't be happy?
yup, dude keeps it 100. my dudes
i cosign fresh
pharrell claimed to be the teflon don ya damn bish! how he gon make a song bout being happpy and bout being the teflon don? huh? ya stupid bish'es
Pharrell was never on that. What are you talking about?
go listen to fake thugs like lil wayne & drake ya BISH
I like this. A lot.
Summer groove. I Like it.
This is a jam. Really hope Pharrell continues to make music like this
very cool
I feel happy
Love this song....

If you are looking for somewhere to go with your sled, Byrncliff is the perfect stop off point! Three of us had a room for the weekend and it was perfect. Not the best quality of rooms but a clean warm bed to sleep in with your basic amenities. Your there to ride not to sit in the room right? The food was ok but we did not eat much there as we stopped off places with our sleds. They also have special rates and packages for snowmobilers so its worth looking into. We drove our sleds right up to the room and access to the trails is more noticeable than the regular roads! Had a great time and worth it!

ined. The officer's incredulous gaze grew more so as the lad went on with his story. When the lad had finished, he said simply:
"I don't believe you!"
Hal was angry in a second. He took a step toward the officer.
"What do you mean by that?" he demanded.
The officer stood his ground.
"Just what I say," he replied. "I don't believe you. The tale you tell is impossible."
Chester stepped into the breach. He took Hal by the arm.
"Of course such a tale is hard to believe," he said. "But, nevertheless, it is true. We carry an important message for the Grand Duke."
"Well," said the officer, "I don't think you will see him. He is too busy to give up his time to listen to such a tale as yours."
But at this moment a second officer, apparently the other's superior, approached. To him, upon request, Hal repeated his story. This officer also looked incredulous, but the result was different.
"You tell a very strange story," he said, "but it is not for me

What they're saying about body language: Sports psychologist, Marshall Moses, Sherri Coale weigh in
Especially in high school, I had the worst attitude. I got down when I wasn't hitting shots. I quit. You just develop a sort of toughness when you work hard. If you're working hard on everything in your game, winning becomes important. If you're thinking about winning, your body's going to be saying the right things." →Oklahoma women's basketball coach Sherri Coale: "I used to tell (Sooner point guard) Stacey Dales, 'You can go 0 for 20 and have 10 passes to the fifth row, and if you walk around like you think you're the best player on the planet, we will win because those other four guys just look at you. When they think you think we're OK, they're OK.' That's sort of the message that I think great leaders send." Compiled by Jenni Carlson
